Late night host Jimmy Kimmel found himself to be the punchline of a joke Tuesday after a conservative artist mocked the comedian at the location where he crashed his vehicle.

Sabo, an artist who has hit back at prominent liberal celebrities including Meryl Streep, took credit for placing a sign underneath a ”right turn only" traffic sign on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood.

Kimmel was driving outside the famous Chateau Marmont Hotel when he made an illegal left turn, ignoring the traffic sign. The comedian crashed his car into a passing Audi. No one was injured in the accident.

Sabo told The Hollywood Reporter he targeted Kimmel due to comments he made on “Pod Save America.” Kimmel told the podcast hosts that “pretty much every late-night talk show (host) is a liberal. And that’s because it requires a measure of intelligence.”

Sabo said Kimmel apparently was not using his intellect during the time of the crash.
